Pegasus acquires Aerocompact’s North American division
Solar mounting manufacturer Pegasus has purchased the North American division of Aerocompact, a global supplier of mounting equipment across the commercial and industrial (C&I) solar markets.
Financial terms of the deal, announced Jan. 7, were not disclosed. The purchase agreement gives Pegasus exclusive license for manufacture and sale of Aerocompact’s product lines around North America.
The deal folds Aerocompact and its North American employees into Pegasus’s network of more than 130 stocking distributors across the U.S. and Canada. The move helps grow Aerocompact’s already-burgeoning North American presence and will also “accelerate market share capture” for Pegasus, according to company president and CEO Kai Stephan.
“Pegasus customers have repeatedly asked us to develop products for the commercial market,” says Stephan. “Seeing the unique offerings from Aerocompact, we were impressed by the engineering and saw an opportunity to work together. The product lines, for example the (CompactFLAT) S_Base system, are in direct alignment with our exacting innovation and engineering standards.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to immediately deliver superior engineered commercial flat roof and ground mount products to our growing customer base across North America.”
Pegasus perks for Aerocompact
The agreement presents a “very strong cultural fit,” says Aerocompact CEO Sebastian Dresse. Founded in 2014, the Vorarlberg, Austria-based mounting supplier now employs about 150 around the globe and carries a variety of aerodynamic PV module mounting substructures.
In addition to cultural fit, the agreement allows Aerocompact access to business perks from the fastest growing solar mounting and deployment supplier in the U.S., according to Pegasus representatives. Pegasus will integrate Aerocompact’s product lines into its software platform, known as ‘Glide,’ which covers project design, planning, and procurement.
Pegasus cited Aerocompact’s “innovative” flat roof and ground mounting solutions as a chief reason for the acquisition. The firm already has its fingerprints on a slew of projects around North America, including a 628 kWp solar system on top of Washington, D.C.’s Audi Field, home of Major League Soccer’s D.C. United. In its native Europe, Aerocompact helped build a 6.9 MW rooftop project for AMAG Austria Metall AG’s aluminum manufacturing plant, a record for the country.
Now, the Austrian company will bring its core competence to a much wider C&I customer base across the continent.
“The acquisition accelerates the Pegasus entrance into the C&I market,” officials say. “After launching the Pegasus FX system at RE+ Las Vegas in September 2025 to immediate success, Pegasus now has a complete mounting portfolio to cover all segments of C&I market.”
